The Orlando Wetlands
It's only a 15 mile drive from TGO and one of the nicest nature areas in the state of Florida. There are over 1,600 acres to wander around and take in all the beauty, birds and animal life. There are miles of trails and roads to hike and there is even a tram available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. You can also ride through the park on horseback or take one of the many tours available. There is the 2,200 foot long cypress boardwalk and lots of ponds, marshes and woods area. You definitely want to bring your binoculars and a camera plus some water and sunscreen. More on page 24...

We Have A New Bingo System!
The Activities Committee just recently installed a new Bingo sytem in the Plantation Manor. Bill Severence, Bob Wilcox, and Pat Small headed up the research team to come up with the best system, which came from Video King in Tampa. Bingo is a huge draw here in TGO - so the new sytem will be well received. More on page 51...
